MONTERREY, Mexico, April 29 (Reuters) - MEXICO CITY, April 29 (Reuters) - The U.N. refugee agency in Mexico plans to close four offices in Mexico due to a "serious funding crisis" the agency is facing, a UNHCR official told Reuters.
Two of the offices are in the southern Mexican cities of Palenque and Tenosique, near the border with Guatemala. The agency has also laid off 190 employees due to the funding crunch, the official said.
UNHCR's operation in Mexico has been heavily dependent on U.S. funding, which has been hit by President Donald Trump's global funding freeze.
